first of all, i will like to thank all da friends our loved ones who have given us their blessings and sending their well wishes when they got hold of the news of our engagement.
and everyone may ask, so how did he propose? and here goes the scenario...
it was our first night in melbourne, and we were just back in the hotel getting some rest after having did much walking around the city.... so one of the moments was as my baby was hugging me... he told me he loved me very very much, and asked me if i knew. as usual, my cheeky self will respond with "really?"... not the best answer to give to your partner, but well thats me for him. haha.
and with that, he said ... yes, and he proceeded to ask me to sit down on the bed. (to be completely honest, i wasnt expecting a proposal)... and when i was asked to open my eyes, there he was kneeling with one feet on the ground, holding the proposal ring in his hands, and popping THE question, "Will you marry me, baby?".... (do i have a reason to say no? of cos not)... and therefore the answer was, "yes of course i will"...
no drama mamas ... it was all over in a split second... and trust me, it still seems surreal to me that i am obviously engaged. although it is nothing like what one expect from the movies, with the spectacular background setting/fireworks, however the gesture is enough to move me to tears.
immediately thereafter, the funny moment was that sammy "informed" me although the ring is not expensive, however the diamond is real. :) its a very lovely ring, and i simply adore it. after all, its not about how "big" the diamond is, but about his commitment to our relationship when he decides to make this big move.
im glad though that he decided against the idea of proposing on the helicopter ride which we had intended as part of the itinerary... cos im not so sure if it will have been as romancing as how the movies depict the scenes to be...
no fancy deco, no fancy words... just my man with his sincerity and simple ring asking for my hand... i wouldnt have asked for more. till now, i still relieve the moment over and over again in my mind, and the question will often pop up: is this too real to be true?
right now, im just waiting for the ring to be fixed. hope the jeweller will come back from his leave soon, and i will be able to get it soon via DHL as my baby promises. till then, guess i will still have to get used to the fact that i am engaged. and that we should be in the process of planning for our Big Day soon... which will likely take place within the next couple of years.
so dont say i didnt warn u... better start saving up for my BIG ANG BAO! :D
